Women owned businesses have reason to get busy with the enactment of the new Partisan Infrastructure Bill, according to the Washington DC-based BizCentral USA.
With over 400 business certifications nationwide, women can take advantage of set-aside contracts by obtaining the Women Business Enterprise (WBE); Women Owned Small Business (WOSB); or the highly sought after, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE). BizCentral USA encourages such businesses to get appropriate certifications in order to take advantage of the contract opportunities that the bill is generating.
Since 2004, BizCentral USA has been helping small businesses acquire certifications to improve project acquisition, business development and essentially boost profitability. With the right certifications, these small businesses gain a competitive edge in contract biddings, whether federal, state or corporate.
“Certifications provide your small business with a nationally recognized and highly respected status that makes your company stand out against marketplace competition for lucrative contracts,” says the team at BizCentral USA.
The company further explains that in bidding for contracts, business owners often depend on lowering their prices in able to have an advantage. However, there are other ways of increasing their chance of having the winning bid. And one of those ways is by securing applicable certifications as most agencies encourage diverse suppliers and service providers.
According to the BizCentral USA team, the majority of government offices give priority to small enterprises whose operators fall under certain categories. These include women, minorities, and veterans. Therefore, getting certified that the business indeed qualifies under these conditions will earn it a higher score during the bid assessment process.
This fact becomes even more relevant with the enactment of the so-called Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. The 1.2 trillion dollar infrastructure bill, the biggest fund allocation to ever be approved since 1956, is a bold initiative of the US government to escalate structural developments. Notably, the bill entails a specific mandate that at least 10% of its budget should be appropriated to DBEs on federal transportation and transit projects.
BizCentral USA gives particular attention to women-owned businesses that statistically have always been under-dogged in the construction and transportation market. The company notes that under the Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contracting Program of the US Small Business Administration, the government aims to securely award at least 5% of all federal contracts to women-owned businesses. This new bill expands this target further.
“There has never been a better time for women, minorities and veterans to get certified,” stated Janet Carruthers, CEO of BizCentral USA. As a women, minority, veteran owned firm, Janet and her team understand the challenges that small businesses face.
In addition to helping small businesses get certified, BizCentral USA offers business development and consulting services.
